Shouldn't it technically be called "Prophesy of Amala" now? While you have stated the player character is the heir of Pendor with amnesia, does the Prophesy of Pendor spread to all lands? I wonder if in a hypothetical M&B2 Bannerlord version 7.0 will be the Kingdoms of Amala, Barclay, and Pendor squaring off, if the prophesy spreads that far.

Should just unsticky it once the thread hits the anniversary mark. Past a year with no updates means it's lost relevance. Or start a new thread with a summary of the previous updates once a major update is made.

If you meant Floris' combat animations, yeah no. It's impractical and frankly, quite silly. Why the hell would I want to twirl my sword all over the place, when I can just unleash a more practical and efficient slash.
Totally wrong, chap.
I even run some stoneold games with according graphics because they´re one of the awesomest ever. Published probably long before your time too. In the good olden heathen times before the internetz when information wasn´t spoonfed or demanded to be spoonfed by the customer. You either had to find it out yourself or be annoyed.
Eye candy alone is too little for an awesome game. Beauty is naught if the content is poor.

But the problem is that it is so damn hard to even hit anything with that animation. That's why I gave up on Floris, mainly because of several repetitive content and the frustrating combat animation. It's a good mod, nonetheless, but one that I will only play when I'm tired of Blue Blood or Prophesy of Pendor.
Although I do agree that they have several fantastic scenes, especially the Praven one.

Er, you don't get it, do you? When I use a saber in real life, I don't twirl my sword all over the place. I just use simple slashes or hacks, which is just one directional swipes with the blade. It's not about the difficulty. It's unrealistic, especially coming from someone who has experience with sabers and spears.
Neither would you see Knights or experienced soldiers using that style of "fighting" in medieval times.
It's good that you like a challenge, but I personally feel that a majority of the players wouldn't like this aspect of Floris to be considered to be implemented. If they do include it in PoP4, god forbid, I guess it's time to learn to dissect the module system and replace the abomination with the native animation files.
Edit: I do like their bow animation though.

I'll have to disagree with you there. While PoP is a great mod (and I play it all the time), it is missing quite a few great gameplay enhancements present in Floris.

So if your judging by gameplay, this mod is quite a few features behind. If your judging by graphics, this mod is missing quite a few enhancements. It's not that it isn't a great mod, because it really is. However Prophesy of Pendor is not keeping up gameplay-wise. That's not to say that is doesn't have plenty of custom content, but there are so many gameplay features that would be great to have in PoP. For graphics I use a custom ENB and it helps a bit, but Floris+ENB just looks amazing. Oh, and I could care less about animations.
Well we also want more gameplay time then just user interface time. Adding so much stuff takes away from that. Also if we add stuff that other mods use the only unique thing we have is storyline. Rest assured we will have good things to come for PoP 4.
